Keep a 125/70D15 spare in my El Camino. The mini donut one. Had it almost as long as the car. Checked it the other day only to find it has sidewall cracks. Looking locally no one can get this tire. Has anyone else recently bought one of these ?

Hello, My grandfather started his automotive career at Steeves Motors Ltd. in Moncton NB in 1956 and remained with the company until its closure in the 1970's. I have his 1957 salesman data book and thought I would post the Pontiac section. Jeff https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l9MOm03mK76I...

With all this talk about manufacturers converting over to strictly electric one has to wonder how are we going to purchase gas In the future. Manufacturers will stop making them but they are still going to be on the Road. -- Edited by 65Camino on Sunday 25th of July 2021 07:59:18 AM

Does anyone know if the gas tank used in the Canadian Pontiac wagon is the same as the one used in the Chevy wagon? I need to replace the gas tank sending unit and want to purchase the correct one. Thanks

Hello Folks, Time to do the front brake on the old girl. Don't drive it much so I was going to stick to the original drum setup. I haven't rip every thing apart yet, but I have noticed on rock auto that the Canadian Pontiacs have 12" front brakes. They list the shoes but I can't find 12"drums anywhere on...

Can someone post a picture of the hood brace seal as mine is gone. All I see that is left is the staples that held it in place. Just wondering how long and wide it is and if it extends to the rear of the brace by a couple of inches. Thanks -- Edited by Canwag57 on Thursday 24th of December 2020 09:46:39 AM
